The device can play music with 2,000 marbles
Sweden's musician, Johan Svensson, has created an instrument that creates music by dropping 2,000 marbles. The marbles move along tracks and make contact with drums, cymbals, and a vibraphone. The marbles fall on various instruments, creating sounds that vary in pitch, speed, and volume. The central wheel rotates and launches the marbles. The video below shows the machine in action.
Martin Molin from Sweden spent seven months creating the Marble Machine. This machine uses 2,000 marbles to produce soft music. The marbles strike different parts in the machine, including a vibraphone. A vibraphone. A bass guitar. A vibraphone. And a Turkish crash-cymbal. The device can be turned on and off manually, and the marbles will recycle as it plays.
The Wintergatan Marble Machine, made from birch plywood, is controlled by a series gears. To make music, the marbles are moved around the circuit. The marbles can also serve as cymbals or bass and a kick drum. Many parts of the device, including funnels or pulleys made from LEGO technic components, are also made from LEGO parts. This device can also be used as a wooden musicbox.
The device generates 400 millijoules of energy
The device harvests energy from sweat that accumulates at your fingertips. With over 1000 sweat glands per fingertip, the fingertips are one of the most sweaty areas in the body. When these glands are pressured, they produce energy that can be stored for up to 24 hours and then used to power an electronic watch. One study found that subjects kept the device on their fingertips while sleeping, producing 400 millijoules of electricity. This is equivalent to 10% of the solar energy hitting the Earth every instant.
The device works by absorbing sweat from your fingertip
The device uses the energy produced by your perspiration to recharge your devices. The fingertip is one of the body's sweatiest areas. Each fingertip contains more than 1,000 sweat glands. It can also produce 400 millijoules (energy) per day. This is enough to power an electronic wristwatch for 24 hours.
The device generates electricity by using the sweat-dissolved lactate. This energy is used to power medical sensors such heart monitors, blood pressure monitors, and other wearable devices. The biofuel cells look like a thin, flexible pad that you attach to your finger. It is made up of hydrogel and carbon nanotubes.
A typical 10-hour night of sleep can generate 20 to 40 microwatts at each fingertip. Although that would not be enough to power your smartphone, it could power your wristwatch and other low-power electronic gadgets. Your wrist watch could be kept online for as long as 24 hours. Researchers used the fingertip as their base because it contained the most sweat glands. Each finger contains over 1,000 glands.
